Here are all finite initial segments of |N and all their finite initial unions:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

All unions are finite. But the terms of the sequence contain all natural numbers and also all finite initial unions of finite initial segments.

If someone claimed, in mathematics. that |N is somewhat larger, then he'd have to supply evidence in form of an additional something missing everywhere but not in |N. He would fail. Fortunately nobody does so in mathematics.

Well you started with |N ("initial segments of |N"), and
then you say there is no |N ("that |N is somewhat larger,
would fail").

Doesn't make any sense.

You need to first prove that |N exists,
before you can draw initial segements out of it.

What if |N was only {1,2}, then you even don't
have {1,2,3}. Or if |N is only {1..10^604} where
10^604 is AP brain fartos constant,

then you dont have an open ..., only this here:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} .. U {1,..,10^604} = {1,..,10^604}

This is classic Euler S = Lim S.

S = {1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} U ... U {1, 2, 3, ... n}
|N = Lim S

or |N = Lim {n -> oo} S for the stupid morons whose inference producing circuitry is dysfunctional.

I beg your pardon, but they do claim this in mainstream mathematics.

pi = 3.14159...

The limit (whatever the hell it is, because it is not a rational number) hovers mystically above the end of sequence somewhere at infinity (over the rainbow? Chuckle).

Same thing for any other incommensurable magnitude (NOT irrational number because there is no such thing).

No. I prove that there is no |N that is larger than all FISONs. Since |N cannot be less than any FISON, the result is: |N is a FISON but not a fixed one. it is finite at any point in time, but it grows indefinitely and without bound.

> Doesn't make any sense.

It does not make any sense to believe that |N is larger than all FISONs but not larger than their union. The union is not a magic act. It cannot collect what before was absent.

If you don't have always:

FISON =< |N

Then you will have some k, such that:

FISON_k = |N

And then your |N was just a FISON and not |N.
|N is not a natural number. Neither omega,
omega is also not a natural number.

Look, you fucking idiot, since the right side of your equation has a free variable, namely "n", the LHS should have that variable too. In other words, your DEFINITION should read:

S_n := {1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} U ... U {1, 2, 3, ... n}

Nope. But

lim_(n->oo) S_n = IN .

Again, or |N = lim_{n -> oo} S_n

S := lim_{n -> oo} S_n .

No, there is no |N. There are only the free standing FISONs.

If an actuallyinfinite |N is assumed, then it is larger than all FISONs. Then |N contains for every FISON and infinite complement. Then |N is much more than the union of all FISONs. But that is disputed too.

A really stupid statement reads: Every FISON has an infinite complement in |N. But the union of all FISONs has no complement in |N. Without severe brain-damage this would not bepossible.

Not this shit again! Are you really going to claim once again for 259th time that, from ZFC, you can derive:

N = U({F1, F2, F3, ...}\{F1, F2, F3, ...} where Fn = {1, 2, ... n}?

I really hope you have learned your lesson, Mucke. Haven't you wasted enough years of your life on this nonsense?

Using WM's “axioms” for the natural numbers, he cannot even prove that 1=/=2. His goofy system is truly a dead-end.

Unless you are taking his history course "Geschichte des Unendlichen" at

No, "S = Lim S" was your handy-work, Troll Boy. With it, you defaced a copy of the image of the text of Euler's popular article on convergence in big red letters. You continue to this day to insist Euler wrote it! Bizarre beyond belief.

In fact, the notation for limits was not invented until several decades after Euler's death. Didn't count on that, did you, Troll Boy? What a moron.

That is some piss poor reasoning. My god WM, how mentally retarded are you?

Just because all your examples are finite does that not mean that |N must be finite and contain something mysterious that none of those finite ones didn't.

Nope. If you understood things you'd not say this.
3.1415...
is notation for a real number, it is not hovering anywhere, it is a real number and we recognise it as the number pi. One can argue that the ... leaves up to some ambiguity and it does but it is salvagable in most instances if the person is not a retard.

However (3,3.1,3.14,3.141,3.1415,...) is a sequence and it MIGHT have a limit, as this is just the sequence with finitely many digits of the decimal expansion of pi, it has the limit of pi in real numbers.

In the cauchy sequence construction of real numbers, WHICH YOU STILL FAILED SHOWING ANYTHIGN WRONG WITH INTERNALLY, it is in the equivalence class of pi, but in this case it is important to note that it does not have any limit as it deals with rational numbers and pi is not rational so in rationals, the sequence has no limit.

But then again you are too stupid to understand the differens ebtween something having a limit in its domain and completing the domain such that there is a natural injection from the origina domain to the new one and in the new one it has a limit.

>Same thing for any other incommensurable magnitude (NOT irrational number because there is no such thing).

|R/Q, is the set of irrational numbers.

Are you so dumb up to this limit Zelos Malum? No wonder!

And shamelessly you say "we" instead of only "I", more of wonders!

But if you mean by "we" are only those well-known stubborn Trolls like (Dan, j4n bur 5*s, Python, Bill, S ergo or few more in addition to **YOU**), then you are not blamed in your wrong "belief" about pi being any real existing number

Otherwise get us **today** any decent professional mathematicians with true identity names (if at all existing) who still believe stupidly in such real numbers? wonder!

Almost everybody had already understood this fact "but silently" except your group of big Morons

That is why nobody would ever dare to say it openly any more like before

And for you so specially, you are not blamed at all to say anything in this regard since you were already proven "idiot" beyond imaginations, and for sure

There is no such implication, first of all because S = Lim S, is wrong and non-sense, secondly |N's existence is axiomatic.

No it does not, Rudin and many others write

S=Lim S_n, which is a shorthand for S=lim (S_n)_{n e |N}

but I doubt you'd understand the nuasances of such.

Yes, but you "description" is nonsense.

If (S_n) is a sequence, we may define/write

S := lim_(n->oo) S_n .

If c is a constant real number we MIGHT write

c = lim_(n->oo) c .

You are wrong as I have pointed out.

First of all, you can't write Lim S_n = S because Lim S_n does not get a value assigned to it. Rather it returns a value. But because you know Euler's S = Lim S is bogus, you have attempted to prolong your deception by trying to reverse the assignment. You fail yet again.

Partial sums cannot be assigned the series - that is very circular, but to you circular reasoning works because what does a moron like you know...

The examples are all finite and they contain all natural numbers. An infinite set is larger.

Try to answer using mathematical arguments, not credo in absurdum: What makes |N larger than all unions of all FISONs?

Nope, it is you who are wrong, always ahve been, always will be.

It has a value assigned to it, if it exist because Lim is a partial function in most cases.

the value it is assigned, r, is the value such that AxEnAm(m>n => |r-S_n|<x)

That is the assigned value, if it exists. For a cauchy sequence it always does.

Again, none writes that because it is non-sense.

No one is doing any deception, if you actually took the time to read and understand, you'd see you are the one misunderstanding.

You do not know what circular means.

THere is nothing circular in

"Given the following notation
Sum_{i e |N} a_i, of a sequence (a_i)_{i e |N}, we construct the sequence (Sum_{j=0}^i a_j)_{i e |N} and assign it the value of Lim (Sum_{j=0}^i a_j)_{i e |N}, which may be written as Lim a_i as well"

There is no circularity, there is notational jumps and such there for our convinience.

Then some natural number should be missing from all. What natural number is missing from all FISONs? None. Therefore all natural numbers are listed here:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}

The union of all FISONs is in the above sequence. None is missing. (You cannot find a missing one. Pure contrary belief is not accepted.) But the sequence does not contain any term that is larger than all FISONs. |N however is believed to be larger than all FISONs.

There is no maximum of the infinite sequence.

Do you claim that there are more FISONs and more gapless unions of FISONs existing in mathematics than are exsisting in the sequence?

Each natural nuber is in infinitely many FISONs, therefore it is also in at least 1 FISON.

The sequence

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

contains all natural numbers (as elements of FISONs) and all FISONs (at the right-hand side) and all gapless unions of FISONs (at the left-hand side). There is no infinite union of FISONs and no infinite set of natural numbers.

If there are more natural numbers than are contained in all FISONs, then they must be somewhere else. If there are not more then the set N is not actually infinite.

WHICH sequence, you moron?

The sequence of equations

"{1} = {1}", "{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}", "{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}" ...

or the sequence

{1}, {1, 2}, {1, 2, 3}, ...

(which actually is identical with the former)?

This may be true in your WMmath, but in set theory BOTH sets exist (actually, they are identical).

WN is caught in the standard crank loop.

C: A is true. A implies B. B is true.

NC: No A is true. A does not imply B. B is False

C: Oh you think B is false. Then you must think A is false. I will prove A.

In this case A is "Each natural number is in some FISON" and B is "|N is not actually infinite". Thus WM spends a large number of electrons showing that every natural number is in some FISON.

Name a natural number that is not in a single FISON together with all other natural numbers that can be named. (A counter example would need two natunumbers thqt are not in any FISON.)

Your |N is a farce. And if not, it contains mainly dark numbers that cannot be named. All natnumbers that can be named are in one FISON.

Here is the Wolkenmuekenhim proof that all natural numbers are in one
FISON

The sequence


{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

is a potentially infinite sequence. That means it always has a last
FISON. The Last FISON clearly contains all natural numbers in the FISONS
in the list. Every natural number is in some FISON. Thus the natural numbers are contained in the last FISON. (The last FISON is a Wolkenmuekenheim special, something that changes. The natural numbers are not contained in a fixed FISON.)

WM is also fond of the false statement: If there is no FISON that contains all natural numbers then there must be two natural numbers that are not in a single FISON. This does not follow. Any set of two natural numbers, indeed any set of natural numbers with a largest element, is contained within a single FISON. That does not mean that any set of natural numbers without a largest element is contained in a single FISON. [Again there is no problem in Wolkenmuekenheim where the natural numbers are potentially infinite, and thus any existing set of natural numbers has a largest element]

The FISON

{1,2,3,...,Largest existing Natural}

is a (changing) FISON that contains all existing natural numbers if and only if tha Largest existing Natural always exists.

That is not what I prove. My proof is this: If the set |N is actually infinite, that is: larger than all FISONs, then this |N contains dark numbers.

That is not speciality of mine but known to every good mathematician like Cantor, Hilbert, ..., Simpson:

"In spite of significant difference between the notions of the potential and actual infinite, where the former is a variable finite magnitude, growing above all limits," [Cantor, p. 374]

"In analysis we have to deal only with the infinitely small and the infinitely large as a limit-notion, as something becoming, emerging, produced, i.e., as we put it, with the potential infinite." [D. Hilbert: "Über das Unendliche", Mathematische Annalen 95 (1925) p. 167]

"A potential infinity is a quantity which is finite but indefinitely large. For instance, when we enumerate the natural numbers as 0, 1, 2, ..., n, n+1, ..., the enumeration is finite at any point in time, but it grows indefinitely and without bound." [S.G. Simpson: "Potential versus actual infinity: insights from reverse mathematics" (2015)]


> The natural numbers are not contained in a fixed FISON.)

Correct. The maximum F(m) is increasing forever, but never becoming infinite and never more than one FISON.

> WM is also fond of the false statement: If there is no FISON that contains all natural numbers then there must be two natural numbers that are not in a single FISON. This does not follow.

Perhaps not in matheology in the theory of Zero Findable Contradictions. In ordinary logic it follows. What does it mean, that not all natnumbers are contained? That means according to current logic that at least one natnumber is not contained. Since one is contained, we have two numbers that are not in a single FISON.

> Any set of two natural numbers, indeed any set of natural numbers with a largest element, is contained within a single FISON.

All natnumbers that can be specified can be found in FISONs.

> That does not mean that any set of natural numbers without a largest element is contained in a single FISON.

Name a natnumber or a FISON that is not in the infinite sequence:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

All the contents of the sequence, all natnumbers contained in FISONs, all FISONs contained in unions, all that is contained in one single FISON. The right-hand side does not contain your magic unions that allegedly are larger than all unioned elements.

Nope, using ordinary logic, saying that the set of natnumbers are not contained means: (i) there is one natnumber that is not contained *or* (ii) the set of natnumbers has no largest element. (i) is false but (ii) is true.

Why should this handwaving and unfounded claim be accepted outside of matheology?

There is no largest natnumber. But we can use a variable n running through all natnumbers.

All natnumbers that exist are subject to logic and universal quantification. In particular all are in FISONs.

Then this n will never cease to be in one and the same FISON with all natnumbers.

For natnumbers that cannot be specified other rules may apply.

It is easy. (i) is obvious. (ii) follows directly from: All FISONS have a largest element. No set without a largest element is contained within a set with largest element.

Idiotic blather.

Hint: We may consider the sequences

(A_i) with A_i = {1} U ... U {1, ..., n} for all i e IN
and
(B_i) with B_i = {1, ..., n} for all i e IN .

Then (A_i) = (B_i) since A_i = B_i for all i e IN.

But the sequence of equations

"{1} = {1}", "{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}", "{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}", ...

is a completely different sequence.

So which sequence are you takling about, idiot?

> we see that all unions of FISONs are finite.

No, "we" don't *see* that, idiot.

But we _know_ that all *finite* unions of FISIONs (i.e. all unions of finitely many FISONs) are finite.

In the same way we _know_ that all *infinite* unions of FISIONs (i.e. all unions of infinitely many FISONs) are infinite.

We _know_ these two facts because we can PROVE them in the context of set theory.

> IN is [...] larger than all [finite] unions of FISONs [...].

Right, since IN is infinite, but all unions of finitely many FISONs are finite.

Here is your error. There is no largest element. Therefore we do not state anything about the largest element. But all existing elements that have a finite specification, are not largest elements and are subject to my proof.

Note that we only consider natnumbers that can be specified and are in FISONs with all such elements.

Here is the sequence of finite sets. F(1), F(2), F(3), ... It is infinite by never ending. But that does not make it larger than all FISONs. |N however is believed to be larger.

Every mathematician would see it.

There are no other unions of FISONs as is proved by the left-hand side of the sequence.

Alas, there are no infinite unions of FINITE initial segments. See the sequence above. Please insert further FISONs if you know them.

Therefore your |N must contain more than can be specified. Or can you specify natnumbers that are not elements of the FISONs of the right-hand side or elements of the FINITE unions of FISONs at the left-hand side?

Not for the fantasies of matheologians. But every sober mind knows that all natnumbers which can be specified and are in FISONs are in one FISON.

Proof: There is no natnumber that can be specified outside of all FISONs. Note: This holds also for the union of all FISONs, namely one term of the sequence

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}

Nope. I said set, not sequence of sets. Outside of Wolkenmuekenheim there is a single set |N = F(1) U F(2) U F(3) ... This set does not have a largest element. Outside of Wolkenmuekenheim, all FISONs are fixed, so all FISONs have a largest element. No set without a largest element is contained in a set with a largest element. So |N is not contained in a FISON.

No, idiot. For each and every natural number n there is a FISON F such that n is in F. But there's no FISON F such that for each and every natural number n n is in F.

True: An e IN EF e FISION: n e F.

False: EF e FISION An e IN: n e F.

An e IN: {1, ..., n} e FISON & n e {1, ..., n} and

All possible sets and all possible unions of FISONs are limited to terms of the above sequence. Otherwise try to determine what could generate an infinite union of FISONs, i.e., a larger union than all possible unions being present in the above sequence on the left-hand side.


> Outside of Wolkenmuekenheim there is a single set |N = F(1) U F(2) U F(3) ... This set does not have a largest element.

Where is it? If it is existing outside of matheological belief too, then it can be determined what makes it larger than all finite unions of FISONs given abobe. Try to show it. Pure statement of believe is insufficient.


> Outside of Wolkenmuekenheim, all FISONs are fixed, so all FISONs have a largest element.

Of course. But there is no last FISON.

> No set without a largest element is contained in a set with a largest element. So |N is not contained in a FISON.

In the course of this discussion, even from this posting of mine you can obtain the simple truth: There is no |N larger than all FISONs of the sequence, and there is no union of FISONs larger than all FISONs. All that is rubbish. But there is no greatest natnumber and no greatest FISON.

Prove it. Show a union of natnumbers that is larger than all unions of FISONs of the following sequence (left-hand side):

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}

Note that all these unions are FISONs (right-hand side).

But they are all in the next FISONs.

Again, try to comprehend what I say: Show a union of definable natnumbers (not your folly |N - that is mainly consisting of dark numbers) that is not in one and the same FISON.

The thing that makes |N larger is the fact that it does not have a largest element.[Note |N is not larger because it contains some element not in the finite union of FISONs]


More detail


A set with no largest element is always larger (not contained in)
a set with largest element.

We are not in Wokenmuekenheim so every element of |N exists. |N does not have a largest element. Each finite union of FISONs has a largest element. |N is larger than any finite union of FISON because it does not have a largest element.

Sets are defined by elements that they have, not by elements they don't have.

Further the set of all finite unions of FISONs does not have a last element either.

[Note |N is not larger because it contains some element not in the finite union of FISONs]

In order to be larger than every finite union, |N must have at least one element not in any finite union of FISONs.

Irrelevant since the set of all finite unions of FISONs does not have a last element either.

|N cannot be larger than all finite unions of FISONs because there is no natnumber outside of all finite unions of FISONs.

Further: Sets are no defined by missing elements but by elements they have. Therefore find an element outside of every finite union of FISONs. Fail. Recognize that actual infinity (fixed number of more elements than all FISONs have) is a chimera.

There is a function L:|N -> |N, s.t. for each k in |N, L(k) defined and existing, k<L(k). For each k in |N, k and L(k) are elements that |N has.

Your claim is not that !N is contained in the set of all finite unions of
FISONS, but in a single element of the set of all finite unions of FISONS.
Every element of this set has a largest member.

Please, Mücke, I know you are not very bright but are you really so dim

a valid argument?

My proof shows that there is no such |N. So your function is fantasy, not prving anything.

All defined natural numbers together belong to a FISON. Proof: All definable numbers are elements in finite unions of FISONs

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

That proves that the set consisting of definable numbers is not actually infinite.

Of course. There are only finite unions. More is not possible. That is not a claim but easy to see from the sequence.

> Every element of this set has a largest member.

Of course. And every natural number that can be defined belongs together with all other natural numbers that can be defined to one and the same FISON. To contradict this, you have to define a natural number that does not belong together with all others to any FISON. You cannot. Therefore you are wrong. But you are a crank who is not able to understand his mistakes.

That function is not existing. And if existing, then the required natunumbers cannot be defined. All definable nunmbers are in one and the same FISON. To contradict this, you need no mysterious functions on not existing sets but at least one definable natnumber that is not in the same FISOn as 1.

Note, in logic we contradict a universal claim not by functions but by showing the existence of a counterexample. Only cranks do not know about this habit of serious logic.

In logic there is a simple rule, and you need not be bright to know it: If there is a universal claim to be disproved, then a simple counterargument has to be shown.

Example: All definable natnumbers belong to one and the same FISON. Show a counterexample or recognize your mistake. Note: We are talking about definable natnumbers, not about matheologial nonsense.

Holy shit! No, Mückenheim, this is NOT a universal claim, but an existential claim. (Your quantor dyslxia strikes again.)

Hint: (*) might be formalized the following way:

Ef e F: An e DN: n e F .

There is a FISON f such that all "definable" natural numbers are in f.

No one argue against that.

As stated, any natural number is in some FISON, but no FISON has all natural numbers.

I do not need to do such because I already stated that given any natural number, there is some FISON containing it.

However that does nto mean that you can give me a FISON containing all natural numbers.

Nope, if you want a proof I can give it, it is extremely trivial. But then again easy mathematics is not your forté now is it? or really any mathematics.

Given any finite union of FISONs, it is in your list.

But your list does not contain the union of all FISONs

Incorrect, you can take many unions of INFINITELY many fisons, yours only contain FINITELY many fisons.

Only in your list aren't there more. But I can make an infinite union of FISONs if I want to.

Non-sequitor, just because no finite union of FISONs is |N does that not mean that |N contains anything but what you can find in the FISONs.

For every collection of definable natnumbers there is a FISON containing this collection. Whether this collection is a set is irrelevant.

The infinite union should be larger than all finite unions. So there must be more FISONs than in any finite union. Name one!

Not at all! Your approach to lie fails misarably. Fact is:

Here is a sequence of finite sets:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}

that does contain all definable numbers but does neither contain an actually infinite union of FISONs nor an actually infinite set of FISONs.

Therefore you have to find something that make an actially infinite union or to agrre that there is no finished infinity.

I never argued that, I said that your list only contains finite union, not all unions. All unions include the infinite cases.

The infinite union is larger than any FISON and any finite union of FISONs. There are no other FISONs than those provided.

Nope, you only got FINITE unions of FISONS, not the infinite ones.

Are you seriously this stupid that you do not understand that your list only contains finite ones?

>If |N contains nothing more than all finite unions of FISONs, what makes it larger than all finite unions of FISONs? Sets are determined by their elements.

The fact it is not finite. For any finite union of FISONs you have a finite number of elements. Every endomorphism that is injective is also surjective.

when you take the union of all you get a set where it no longer holds true.

I prove that all definable FISONs yield finite unions of FISONs.

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

Natnumbers from FISONs are all in the above unions.

They fail to yield an infinite union.

Then try to find a FISON or what you may believe that makes the finite unions of the following sequence infinite:

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

Or recognize that your |N is not a collection of natnumbers from FISONs.

No, they dont, you imbecile. Actually, *YOU* failed to CONSIDER an infinite union.

Look, idiot, here's such an "infinite union":

U{{1,...,n} : n e IN} .

Again, the set of all fisions is

AF := {{1,...,n} : n e IN} .

Then the union of this (infinite) set, i.e. the "infinite union", is

U AF = IN .

Nope, dumbo. For example, you didn't consider the (infinite) union

U{{1,...,n} : n e IN}

you only considered the (infinitely many) FINITE unions:

U{{1}}
U{{1}, {1,2}}
U{{1}, {1,2}, {1,2,3}
:

No you didn't. You proved that any finite amount of FISONs is a finite union (SHOCKER!)

There is nothing in it that prohibits an infinite union.

>Natnumbers from FISONs are all in the above unions.

but none of those FISONs contains all natural numbers.

if you pick a FISON and claim it has all natural numbers, I can find a natural number that fison does not have.

Why? That is not what we argued, again your list only contains finite unions, not all unions.

>They fail to yield an infinite union.

Not at all
U{F_0,F_1,F_2,...}=|N

That is a union of infinitely many FISONs and it is an infinite set.

>I got all unions.

You didn't, no where in your list is U{F_0,F_1,F_2,...}

>That is clear. Show what you will use to increase the unions!

the axioms of ZFC and I can construct {F_0,F_1,F_2,...} and actually even P(|N) many kinds of unions, albeit almost all there will still just yield |N

Does the sequence of natural numbers 1, 2, 3, ... contain an infinite number? No.

Does the sequence of unions of FISONs

{1}, {1} U {1, 2}, {1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3}, ... (*)

contain an infinite union? No.

Proof, the FISONs and the unions of FISONs are in bijection with the natural numbers.

The sequence of unions of FISONs contains all gapless unions of FISONs. All are finite. Unions with gaps contain less FISONs than unions without gaps. An infinite union however contains more FISONs than every finite union.

> here's such an "infinite union":
>
> U{{1,...,n} : n e IN} .

Does it exist? No. An infinite union must contain more FISONs than every finite union. But sequence (*) exhausts the set of all FISONs and shows that all FISONs are insufficient to produce an infinite union.

Othrwise there must be more than in all terms of sequence (*).

> Again, the set of all fisions is
>
> AF := {{1,...,n} : n e IN} .

Yes. All these FISONs are unioned in (*) and are not producing an infinite union.
>
> Then the union of this (infinite) set

Here you ar mistaken. Either you can find more FISONs than are unioned in (*) or your claim is void and is an unoproven statment which is known to carry little weight in mathmatics.


> > I got all unions.

Do you understand that the sequenc (*) has only finite unions?
Do you agree that all FISONs are unioned in (*)?

How could these finite unions become infinite? By pure claim? By some magic? By insulting the advocate of the superior argument until he will withdraw?

Seems so.

Show some substance, i.e., FISONs, that transform the infinite sequence (*) of finite unions into an infinite union.

The shock comes if you se that no further FISONs ar available to increase the finit terms of the sequence

{1}, {1} U {1, 2}, {1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3}, ... (*)

All FISONs are exhaustd by finite unions in (*). There is nothing remaining for a union larger than any finite union.

The terms of the sequence (*) are strictly increasing. They do not lose FISONs. All FISONs that are contained are in one term.

I do not pick a FISON? Why should I? I considr all possible (gapless) unions of FISONs.

My sequence (*) contains all unions. If you claim that not all unions are ther, thn shows what FISON is missing.

That is what you argue: There are more FISONs than are unioned in (*).

F_0, F_1, F_2, ... are all unioned in (*). By bijection with |N this is shown. No trm in infinite. Therefore you claim that there is more. You must show it because I claim that there is not more. Your actual infinity is unfounded belief.

Do you? Do you start to construct the sequence {1}, {1} U {1, 2}, {1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3}, ... ? Where do you surpass it?

> and actually even P(|N) many kinds of unions,

Start with the gapless unions of the sequence (*) and mark the point where you surpass it.

No, simple logic. If the infinite union is larger than all gapless finite unions, then the infinite union must contain more than all gapless finite unions.

Each gapless finite union (do not use "all". it confuses you).

The sequence contains *all* gapless unions of definable FISONs. There are not more. If you don't understand that, then try to define more.

If there is a finite union you haven't thought about? It will be there! :) By definition.

They are contained already in the sequence

{1} = {1}
{1} U {1, 2} = {1, 2}
{1} U {1, 2} U {1, 2, 3} = {1, 2, 3}
...

No infinite union in sight though.

> If there is a finite union you haven't thought about?

The sequence contains all gapless finite unions. Unions with gaps are irrelevant because they are smaller.

> It will be there! :) By definition.

All gapless unions are there. No actually infinite union is there. And it can't be constructed from definable FISONs. Otherwise someone would have done so.
